Jennifer Abel at Consumer Affairs on the TSA

Jennifer Abel is a freelance writer who's been an eloquent -- and scathing -- TSA critic for years.

She wrote many columns for the UK paper The Guardian, in the section called "Comment is Free," where she did yeoman's work trying to wake people up to what was going on in the U.S. And she took no end of shit for it from know-nothing readers who didn't want to believe what she was saying. 

Summer air travel predicted to increase, despite TSA
